Outcomes-

UG Fellowship Program-

To provide global exposure and learning and to inculcate research culture, institute has taken a major step to initiate UG Fellowship program. Under this program student are opting for research fellowship in international universities on latest technology and research projects.

Fellowship opportunities are hyper-focused on the fellow’s professional skills. It allows the fellow to sharpen their skills in a new environment and new setting, while maximizing their impact. Each fellowship project is created based on the needs of the host organization abroad. Individuals are then matched to the fellowship opportunities based on their skill set and interest, making the individual stand out. Fellowships are unique in the sense that each project allows flexibility in the fellow’s time, interest, skills, and goals – so they can go when is best for them! Fellowships offer unique opportunities for one-on-one hands-on field experience, really allowing the fellow to dive deep into the work they are doing.

Global Academic Internship Programme (GAIP)-

Global Academic Internship Programme  helps under graduate experience, learn and explore global career benchmarks with two of the world’s top 15 universities and industry experts from leading MNCs.
